Wells Fargo Advisors has recognized me as a Platinum Council Advisor from 2009-2024. Prior to joining Wells Fargo Advisors (previously A.G. Edwards & Sons), I graduated from the University of Missouri with a degree in Business Administration and worked as a Certified Public Accountant with Shelton and Von Cloedt, CPA, though I no longer offer accounting services.
